Summary
"At any rate, I am not going to marry soon," Colin grumbled, sending his older brothers a glare. Then, with a slight rise in his voice for finality, he said just about the stupidest thing of his life. "And I am certainly not going to marry Penelope Featherington!"
“Oh.”
And so begins a lengthy love story... 7 years later. But what if we delve deeper into those 7 years? What if we get to watch Penelope and Colin change and mold as individuals and as a friendship throughout that time? What if Polin was the slow burn I so very crave, my Dear Reader?
Read and find out.

Penelope Featherington finds herself spending the pandemic lockdown at Aubrey Hall with a good number of the Bridgerton clan gathered. There's one Bridgerton that she isn't planning on seeing-- her best friend Eloise's older brother Colin. They used to be friends--very close friends. But now, they're more like strangers and she harbors a good amount of bitterness towards him. Sure enough, though, Colin Bridgerton is staying at Aubrey Hall too and she's forced to interact with him. Can Penelope and Colin repair their friendship? And can they possibly find maybe a little more for themselves than friendship along the way?

Summary
The Bridgertons are all jetting off to the Scottish Highlands for Christmas and Penelope Featherington is coming with them this year. She's a close family friend and gets along famously with each and every member (young and old) with one significant exception-- the third eldest son, Colin Bridgerton. They may have been best friends as children, but now, in their mid and late twenties, they couldn't be further from friends. These days they can't even be in the same room with one another without trading verbal jabs that intensify steadily until someone literally has to pull them apart. After a lot of deliberation, though, Penelope accepts Violet's invitation despite this fact. She figures they'll be staying in a huge house and there will be a crowd of other people to distract herself with. What she can't possibly know, however, is that the storm of the century and a series of unforeseen events are going to make that house and that crowd much, much smaller.

This has soooo much angst and I'm obsessed with the friends to enemies to lovers dynamic. I don't often get that for Polin and it's rarely this great.

Summary
Colin Bridgerton's first tour was by his own estimation an unmitigated disaster, full of dull thoughts and even duller pursuits. This time he's determined to enjoy himself, to return brimming with exciting tales which will have everyone hanging on his every word, especially his dearest friend...
Penelope Featherington, lost her closest friend and any hopes she had of a love match for herself, all in one wretched evening. Now, with no prospects she decides to take destiny into her own hands, don breeches, and go on the adventure of a lifetime.
And who better as a travel companion than the man who would never court her and most definitely does not see her as a woman?

Crossdressing Penelope is so adorable! And I'm so obsessed with plots where Penelope has already given up on Colin and able to live her life freely around him... and *that's* when Colin realizes his feelings for her. Because then it feels more authentic and real.

Summary
"It’s been so long that I don’t even know how to start… It would be different if I could talk to her face to face, but I can’t just catch a plane and knock on her door. Besides, she must be different now, you’ve seen how confident and gorgeous she looked. She’s famous, she has a boyfriend… I’m just the guy who betrayed her trust.”
OR
Five years after Colin and Penelope had a falling out, she's back in London for work. Their lives have changed drastically during that time, but Colin is determined to get her back as the dear friend she once was or, ideally, -now that he's finally realised the extent of his feelings for her- something more.
So much more.

I love this one so much! The concept of Colin writing email drafts to Pen and never sending them because he wanted to give her the space she needed is justttt chef's kiss. Adore this!
